Lise and Faith Memorial Run

On May 27th, 2011 one family’s life would be turned upside down forever. While jogging on her vacation in Lake Chelan, 8 months pregnant Lise Palmer was struck and killed my a man who fell asleep at the wheel. She leaves behind her two sons (ages 4 and 2) and her loving husband. She was an incredible woman, who loved running and fitness of any kind. Her passing is an extraordinary loss to her family and community.

We can’t bring Lise back, or heal the wounds of her family, but we can do something. Along with the gentlemen of Uberthons I am organizing a local 1k, 5k, and 10k walk/run in Lise and unborn baby Faith’s honor. The money raised from the race will go to their family, and allow Lise’s husband the much needed time away from work to focus on putting the pieces of his family’s life back together.

The race is already generating sponsors and help and should actually turn out to be a beautiful and fun celebration, and will also raise awareness for drivers and pedestrians alike.

The race will take place on either July 30th, 2011 or August 20th, 2011, depending on what works best for the family. The race will also include a brand new and amazing timing chip system. More final details will be posted soon.

I am asking you now, to please register, donate, or volunteer for this race. If you have any questions, please don’t hesistate to email me directly. Below I am including a link to the website that you can register on, and also to the race’s facebook page.

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to read Lise’s story, help her family, and celebrate two lives lost far too soon.
